“We’re excited to team up with the Monster Energy Outbreak Tour for our biggest headliner ever. Can’t wait for our fans to join us UP into Mirrorlan,” states EarthGang members Olu (aka Johnny Venus) and WowGr8 (aka Doctur Dot). In 2018, the Spillage Village members opened for J. Cole’s “KOD Tour” along with Jaden Smith and Young Thug.

EarthGang’s discography contains the independent albums Shallow Graves for Toys and Strays with Rabies as well as the Rags/Robots/Royalty EP trilogy. In addition, the Atlanta-bred duo contributed to Dreamville’s chart-topping Revenge of the Dreamers III compilation.

“It’s that family atmosphere. You know what I’m saying? It’s that family atmosphere,” said Johnny Venus about the star-studded #ROTD3 recording sessions that took place in his hometown. “Everybody was just going from room to room, working on whatever. Any room you stepped in, any song you heard, you were like, ‘Oh, is Space on that? Is Space? Oh, rock with me, let’s do it. Let’s get it on.'”

(AllHipHop News) Before the infamous “Nipplegate” incident during the Super Bowl XXXVIII halftime show, Janet Jackson shocked the world in 1993 with a Rolling Stone cover which featured her then-boyfriend Rene Elizondo covering her bare breasts with his hands. Rising R&B singer Justine Skye somewhat channeled Janet’s iconic image for her new body of work.

Skye spoke to Ebro Darden on Apple Music’s Beats 1 about her recently released Bare With Me EP. Darden asked the 24-year-old Brooklynite about going topless for the project’s main artwork.

“I don’t think it’s raunchy. I think it’s pretty tasteful,” said Skye. “Honestly, I think I was getting ready to go to an event and one of my photographers, Cooper Sebastian – he was just there. He’s really tight with taking Polaroids, so I was just like, ‘Take this photo real quick. My makeup looks dope.'” 

She continued, “I took that like six months ago. I knew I was getting ready to put music out. I didn’t know when, but I knew I was working. So I was like, ‘Maybe I want to use this as artwork.’ I feel like everything I’ve done has been so overly produced since I was 17. Since I got into this industry professionally, everything has been so overly produced… Looking at my peers, they’re literally spending zero dollars on this… It’s super-organic. That’s how I was before I got into the system.” 

The “Maybe” performer also told Ebro the picture represents her saying: “bare with me, give me another chance.” Plus, the Beats 1 interview included Justine Skye discussing the aftermath of publicly accusing former boyfriend Sheck Wes of abusing her during their relationship as well as GoldLink putting her on the cover of his Diaspora album.

(AllHipHop News) Do you remember when Migos and Bone Thugs-N-Harmony started beefing back in 2018? The “Bad and Boujee” hitmakers and the legendary “Tha Crossroads” rhymers had issues with each other over who could claim the title of “Greatest Rap Group Of All Time.”

The feud included BTNH’s Layzie Bone and Migos’ Offset going back-and-forth on social media. Layzie even dropped a diss record directed at the Atlanta trio. Their frequent collaborator 21 Savage also jumped into the situation after sharing his thoughts on Layzie Bone’s “Let Me Go Migo” record.

Fast forward to September 2019, Bizzy Bone did an interview with the Murder Master Music Show where he talked about the BTNH/Migos bad blood. Bizzy claimed Layzie Bone actually received a concession from Savage.

“I heard that 21 Savage apologized to Layzie over the phone. That’s the only thing I heard about the situation. I don’t even think it is one of those things you can really chop it up about,” stated Bizzy. “Well, he apologized for saying he was gonna f*ck his wife, and you still said, ”N*gga can’t pull out no [millions].’ That’s the last thing you said to the world: ‘You n*ggas are old, you old ass n*ggas!’ Wait a minute b*tch, I’m just about as old as you, b*tch. We look the same!”

The 42-year-old emcee continued. “I’m just saying these small little nitpicking things. When you’re golden and you’re legendary, those kinda words just bounce off of you. It’s just something they are saying now. They called Rakim ‘The God.’ How can you cheapen that? But you can cheapen the word ‘legend’ by adding ‘old head’ on it, and then when a little bit of ‘broke’ to it, when you add a little bit of money, that’s worse than a f*cking rap diss.” 

He added, “The only thing you can do is come back with $100,000 worth of jewelry on and pristine camera work and a pristine project that you get behind. That’s the only thing you can do after that. After someone says some sh*t like that and attacks your Hip Hop savvy, you can’t do nothing else but turn – what we call – all the way the f*ck up, my n*gga. You done tried to dig me a grave that I’m supposed to just hop into, taking the higher road. F*ck that!”

(AllHipHop News) On September 1, superstar comedian Kevin Hart was involved in a car accident in California that caused him to be taken to the hospital. Apparently, Hart underwent serious surgery to repair three fractures to his spine.

TMZ reports:

Sources with direct knowledge tell us Kevin’s Sunday night surgery involved fusing the fractures … 2 of them in the thoracic section of his spine, and 1 in the lumbar. Although the procedure was a success, Kevin is still going through hell. We’re told he has to be heavily medicated because the pain is just that intense.

According to the entertainment website, doctors expect the 40-year-old Philadelphia native to make a full recovery. He will require months of physical rehabilitation.

Earlier this week, Eniko Parrish was asked how her husband is doing after the Plymouth Barracuda he was riding in careened off Mulholland Highway. Parrish stated, “He’s going to be just fine.”

A man identified as Jared Black was driving the vehicle at the time of the crash. Black’s fiancée, Rebecca Broxterman, was also in the car. The driver was transferred to a local medical facility and purportedly suffered a “major back” injury as well. Broxterman did not have to be treated, according to reports.

(AllHipHop News) On Wednesday, Roc Nation affiliated artists Rapsody and Vic Mensa took part in a mentoring program with BBF Family Services as an extension of the National Football League’s Inspire Change initiative. The two rap stars were joined by NFL Hall of Famers, Chicago police officers, and local community leaders.

About 70 teenagers from the city, between the ages of 13-19, met with Rapsody, Mensa, officers from the 10th District, 8-time Pro Bowl safety Aeneas Williams, Super Bowl champion Orlando Pace, and former season tackle leader John Randle. The young people were able to ask them about life advice, their professional careers, and tips on planning for their futures.

Cook County State Attorney Kim Foxx, the First Lady of Chicago Amy Eshleman, NFL Chief Operating Officer Maryann Turcke, Illinois House of Representatives deputy majority leader Jehan Gordon Booth, and others were also in attendance for the BBF Family Services event. The organization offers six program and service areas: Community Engagement, Education, Employment Services, Family Services, Health Equity, and Youth Services.

According to reports, Philadelphia rapper Meek Mill and Massachusetts singer-songwriter Meghan Trainor will visit the Crusher’s Club today (August 5). Meek, Trainor, and Rapsody are also scheduled to perform a free “NFL Kickoff Experience” concert in Chicago’s Grant Park later in the day.
